Stop using the word ‘cop’ in headlines
As a regular reader of the Review-Journal, I want to express my disapproval of the word “cop” in your Aug. 2 article (“Shooting kills man, hurts cop”). I have deep respect for law enforcement personnel, and I think it is inappropriate to use a slang term when referring to the very individuals who ensure our safety while sacrificing their own.
Please use words such as police officer, law enforcement, deputy, sheriff etc.
